Setting Outfeed Table Height; Cutterhead Guard - Grizzly G0634Z Manual Insert

Setting Outfeed
Table Height
The outfeed table height MUST be level with the
knives or carbide inserts when they are at top-
dead-center. If the outfeed table is set too low, the
workpiece will be tapered from front to back. If the
outfeed table is set too high, the workpiece will hit
the edge of the outfeed table during operation,
increasing the chance of kickback.
To set the outfeed table height:
1. DISCONNECT THE
FROM THE POWER SOURCE!
2. Place a straightedge on the outfeed table so it
extends over the cutterhead.
3. Open the motor access panel and rotate the
cutterhead pulley until one of the knives (or
carbide inserts) is at top-dead-center (TDC),
as illustrated in Figure 11.

4. Raise or lower the outfeed table until the knife
(or carbide insert) just touches the straight-
edge (Figure 12).

cutterhead guard shaft into the bracket hole
as shown in Figure 13.

2.
Move the fence forward until it touches the
cutterhead guard.
3.
Thread the lock knob into the bracket (Figure
13), and secure the guard into place. Adjust
the guard and lock knob as needed so the
guard fully covers the cutterhead.
4.
Test the guard by pulling it back and letting
go. The rubber dot on the guard should hit
the fence when the guard comes back.
—The guard should snap back over the
cutterhead without dragging across the
table.
—If the guard drags across the table, raise
it until it won't drag, then tighten the shaft
lock.
—If the guard does not snap back, remove it
and repeat Steps 1–3.
